Odyssey 1 released a statement on Facebook saying that staff is only allowed to wear Seattle Seahawks gear, and not other teams’ jerseys, in an effort to prevent any conflict.

“The employee reported to work in an unauthorized uniform and was asked to change into a standard uniform,” the statement reads. “Soon after he left to change into an accepted uniform, we received a phone call stating that he was not returning to work, leaving his position unfilled and creating extra stress for the staff covering his job on a busy weekend day.”

The Seahawks will face the Broncos on Feb. 2 in the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
